Raytheon Employer Reviews

Short term installer for multiple avionics systems on C-130 airframes.

Excellent training, Management, This company is a great place to work.

I enjoyed working at Raytheon. There is a lot of technical work and flexibility to try different roles. The compensation package is very competitive in the industry. Promotions for career minded individualism can be very difficult however.

Raytheon is a top defense contractor working on some of the world's most advanced technologies. With nearly 70,000 employees there are a wealth of different roles and significant mobility within each business unit.

If you can get in the door, don't leave. You can have a very satisfying job and a long career.

Raytheon Company is very competitive in the Defense and Government sector. The company has been around a long time and continues to perform well amid fluctuating times. However, there are alot of changes happening behind the scenes, in order to remain competitive... Very important to build and maintain a strong professional network, mentors and advisors. – more... Get involved in projects outside of regular job. – less

Work 4-10 hr work weeks, host daily standup meetings, communicate across functions and facilitate flow through the factory. Mgmt. is very political. Work mostly with engineers. Hardest part of job is working with different types of people, most enjoyable part of job is overcoming obstacles with teamwork.

12 hour shifts, working at outer gates that employees and visitors enter, check for proper identification. Well trained co-workers, i enjoyed working outside,

Hired for all the wrong reasons.

The two technologies I was hired to support the company got rid of within my first year.

Management is decent overall, but the corporate bean counters put too much pressure on them for things like time card.

Their sacrificing work life balance and forgetting how to have fun. Time cards are audits are crazy!

Little – more... perks like bagels - expect to pay

If your a coder, I would apply for SI GOV reverse engineering positions. They seem to be retaining their culture after being aquired by the Raytheon Borg - SI GOV still plays with toys

Corporate is disconnected from reality

If you dislike Lotus Notes (who doesn't), then stay away. – less

Good place to work for a really long time. Good pay, good benefits. Most people don't want to leave.

Edger and willingness to work and qualified to do so. A day at work is typically routine which ranges from vehicle inspections and maintenance, training, station duties to building inspection and fire security checks.
Learing is continuious we are always endrolled in a course off our rank within the fire service, we also have ongoing refreshers on all – more... pass topics.
In the fire service it is considered to be a botherhood, yes you will find a little differences but it is always resolved.
The hardest part is the continuious studies, but the most rewarding and enjoyable part is responding to a fire or emergency call. – less

Great benefits and work life balance. Competitive compensation. All around good company.

A typical day at Raytheon starts at 6 to 5 pm giving classroom instruction with practical exercise. Training soldiers on all functions of the M1A1 Abrams tank with field training exercise and a mini gunnery. Learning teamwork, technical skills, and management skills. Raytheon management has great learning tools in there Learning Management System for – more... employee's that are web based.
The hardest part of the job is saying good-bye when a contract ends. – less

Flexible work hours
Earned value methodology
Ethical management
Friendly co-workers
Accomodating for poor planning
Role in assiting U.S. military success

The culture is mixed when it comes to being creative and innovative for this employer. If you happen to land on a program where grow and success are encouraged you will find job satisfaction and the ability to be creative and innovative. Should you find yourself on a legacy program acceptance of change or investment in future technology are very difficult – more... to achieve. – less

This is one of the most interesting jobs I've had in my life. First I was trained on how the equipment worked then I was to observe it and the agents as they did their jobs. Mostly the agents didn't opt to use the TSA equipment but rather choose to test by hand.

My co-workers and direct supervisors were some of the greatest people I have met in my professional career. No matter who was the task lead, everybody worked together, rather than under each other. All group projects were a joy. The managers and leaders were flexible and trusting, and listened to the ideas of those under them.

However, the leadership – more... personnel out of direct contact with satellite offices and the employees in those offices were extremely disconnected. Tasking/charging was a difficult process to understand and follow, and projects were often behind schedule or over budget because it was difficult to get answers with regards to individual work authorizations. – less

After five years on the Raytheon team I was able to pick up many new communication skills, set up projects, and felt that I was part of a healthy work environment.

Currently employed, great health benefits & opportunity for growth.

Good company to work for, but some unstable due to Washington not having Defense as one of its priorities.
